Charge Creation & Satisfaction

Companies Act, 2013 defines "charge" as an interest or lien created on the property or assets of a company or any of its undertakings or both as security and includes a mortgage. Hence, charge is a type of security created on some property of the company to secure company lent. Charge can be fixed if it's attached to a specific item of property (for example land); a floating charge is created when charge is created over changing assets (for example cash, receivables). It is the duty of every company to register with the Registrar of Companies specific charges created by the company on its assets. The purpose of registration of charge is to provide public notice to those who contemplate giving credit to the company on how far the property of the company is encumbered.

As per Companies Act, companies are required to file particulars of a charge within 30 days of the creation thereof, otherwise the charge is void against the liquidators and the creditors of the company.
